  • Well look at you, man. You've got the guilt anyway. Don't waste it.
  • That's gorgeous, man. The truth is always beautiful.
  • You're playing games. You're playing a emancipated woman, a hip chick that doesn't care what her husband does.

Carol Sanders

[edit]
  • Oh, insight! Oh, Alice! Alice, what a beautiful woman! Oh! You see. You see right through us. You're beautiful! You know where it's at.
  • We have to be straight about this. Now, I'm beginning to feel something. I am beginning to feel excited. And do you want me to deny that?

Ted Henderson

[edit]
  • You know there's a double standard operating here and I'm not going to play that game. I am not going to do anything I don't want my wife to do.

Alice Henderson

  • That's all that's on their minds, is sex. Sex, sex, sex, and sex. If it's on your mind all the time it can't be a very good thing, can it? I mean, shouldn't it just happen? It used to just happen!

Dialogue

[edit]
Alice Henderson: You know how children are, they're very curious. He wanted to know why I had a tee-tee...
Psychiatrist: Pardon me? I don't know what a tee-tee is.
Alice Henderson: A vagina.
Psychiatrist: Oh, it's a pet expression of yours.
Alice Henderson: Yes, you know words: tee-tee, tinkle, po-po, wee-wee, kee-kee, poo-poo.
Psychiatrist: I had never heard tee-tee before.
Alice Henderson: What expression do you use with your children?
Psychiatrist: Vagina.
Psychiatrist: When we come right up to the sex, you become embarrassed.
Alice Henderson: What am I... What would you like... What am I supposed to think?
Psychiatrist: I have no wants. Say what you think you'd like to say.
Alice Henderson: Do you think I need this? Do you really think you can help me?
Psychiatrist: I think it'd be useful to talk some more. I don't know for sure if I can help you or not. Do you think you can help yourself?
Alice Henderson: Ted is a very nervous man! Now sex is very important to a man! You know that!
Psychiatrist: Well, it seems that our time is up for today.
Alice Henderson: Maybe I don't trust Ted?
Psychiatrist: Let's talk about that on Thursday.
Alice Henderson: Do you think that that's the possibility that maybe that's what it's about?
Psychiatrist: Let's continue Thursday and we'll discuss that if that's helpful.
Bob Sanders: What do you feel about - my hair?
Ted Henderson: Your hair? Well, eh, your hair? I don't want to offend you; but, a majority of my day isn't spent in ruminating about your hair.
Carol Sanders: Be honest, Ted.
Ted Henderson: Your hair looks very good on you.
Carol Sanders: You're full of crap.
Bob Sanders: Cop out. That's what we call a cop out.
Carol Sanders: Yeah. That's a cop out, Ted.
Bob Sanders: Can't you feel? How do you feel about it?
Carol Sanders: My darling, you did not do a terrible thing. You told me about it. If you hadn't have told me, then that would have been cheating!
Bob Sanders: I know what cheating is. Cheating is when you ball a chick that's not your wife That's cheating!
Alice Henderson: Now, do you wanna do it just like that with no feeling on my part?
Ted Henderson: Yeah.
Carol Sanders: I didn't do it because you did it!
Bob Sanders: Why then? Oh, why, God Almighty!
Carol Sanders: I did it because I wanted to do it!
Bob Sanders: Why?
Carol Sanders: Because! Because I wanted to do it! I-I-I just wanted to see if I could do it.
Bob Sanders: Why in my house? Why in my bed?
Carol Sanders: Well, Bob, it just seems like a convenient thing. You were not going to be here.
Bob Sanders: He's not in my pajamas, is he?
Carol Sanders: No!
Carol Sanders: I have no interests in sleeping with Ted.
Ted Henderson: I have no interests in sleeping with Carol.
Alice Henderson: Oh, you'd *love* to sleep with Carol!
Carol Sanders: Oh, Alice!
Alice Henderson: And you're dying to do it with Ted!
Ted Henderson: What are you doing Alice?
Alice Henderson: I'm getting undressed.
Carol Sanders: Alice, relax.
Alice Henderson: Oh! Relax!
Ted Henderson: Stop it, Alice
Alice Henderson: I am being honest! I am doing what I feel like doing!
Carol Sanders: Well, what do you feel like doing?
Alice Henderson: I feel like doing what we came up here to do.
Carol Sanders: And what is that?
Alice Henderson: Orgy! Have an orgy! Orgy! Orgy. Orgy! Orgy!
Alice Henderson: Listen! You tell me why do you think we come out here?
Carol Sanders: To have fun!
Alice Henderson: And what is more fun than an orgy! Orgy!
Carol Sanders: If Bob says it's alright and Alice says it's alright and I say it's alright...
Ted Henderson: It just seems wrong.
Carol Sanders: Oh, it's not. Look, it's just nice feelings, it's something that we've never done before, it's physical fun! It's - it's just sex! Oh, come on, it'll be fun.
Ted Henderson: Well, I do feel aroused. I can't deny that.
Bob Sanders: A toast - to Alice.
Alice Henderson: Hey, why me?
Bob Sanders: Huh? Because, you're nice.
Alice Henderson: Hey, hey, hey, here's a toast to Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice.
Ted Henderson: That's a good - I'll drink to us.
Bob Sanders: Us and horns!
Alice Henderson: Of the grooviest people I've ever known.
